Kind of a big deal

The datasheet does not mention longer cables available directly from Meraki. You can use compatible extension cables to achieve the desired length.

Please note that when using extension cables, it is important to consider the potential signal loss that can occur with longer cables.

I am not a Cisco Meraki employee. My suggestions are based on documentation of Meraki best practices and day-to-day experience.

Please, if this post was useful, leave your kudos and mark it as solved.

To add to this, you generally want to use lower-loss cable as you add length to maintain the overall gain (or at least limit the loss of gain).

for 15-20ft of LMR400 you are looking at ~2-3dB of loss with N-Connectors.

Why do you want a longer antenna cable? Why not move the AP to accommodate your antenna location?
